low oil pressure light and a whole bunch of other issues
2011 F150 Fx4 5.0 I have been having a run of bad luck lately. First all my lug nuts got stripped by the dealer then had a 2 week battle with my driver window . now my oil pressure says its low. And my truck says I have 0 miles till E when I have 3/4 tank. So here's the story I installed my OEM brake controller. And I was nervous with the luck I have been having that it wasn't going to work when I got it flashed. I was wrong it actually works after getting flashed. But on the flip side while at the dealer like literally in the dealermy oil pressure gauge says low and the warning comes on on the dash its like just a hare off of nothing. And my miles till empty now says 0 when I have 3/4 tank. The miles till empty I can live with...... For now. But the oil pressure ..... Come on really. The oil pressure sending unit is 49 dollars and it is buried behind the alternator. My guess is that it is the sending unit. It is a 1 wire sensor which tells me its just a switch. So it either says u have it or u dont . any body have any issues with these? Or ideas what I might be missing?

Well the dealer was no help again. They plugged it in and uninstalled the brake controller nothing changed ran a self diagnostic on the truck and there is a bunch of communication codes between everything on my truck between instrument cluster and the BCM and PCM. And I am at a loss and they had nothing to say except for what we did wouldn't cause this. How frustrating this is

I have a 2012 f150 5.0 and had the dealer install the controller I am not having the same problems. How did they fix yours?
